Miami Marlins Set to Break Incredible Record in Baseball History Held By Seattle Mariners

The Miami Marlins roster has been a turnstile in 2024 in a way we haven't seen since the 2019 Seattle Mariners.

On Thursday, the Miami Marlins made two roster moves, bringing up pitchers Jeff Lindgren and Michael Petersen.

Once either one of them gets in a game, the Marlins will break an MLB record that is currently held by the Seattle Mariners.

Per Marlins reporter Craig Mish:

The Miami Marlins are now set to break the All-Time MLB record for most players (70) used during a single season, once Lindgren or Petersen pitch. Currently tied at 69 with the 2019 Seattle Mariners.

The 2019 Mariners were the team that started the organization's rebuild. Following a 2018 season in which the M's narrowly missed the playoffs, Seattle traded away Edwin Diaz, Robinson Cano, James Paxton and Jean Segura. In season, they traded away the likes of Edwin Encarnacion and Jay Bruce. The organization became a haven for young players to get opportunities and for guys to get their feet wet in the big leagues.

While the usual suspects like Kyle Seager, Marco Gonzales and Mitch Haniger made up the core of the roster, 2019 Mariners also featured guys like Domingo Santana, Mallex Smith, Shed Long Jr., Tim Lopes, Mac Williamson, Keon Broxton, Braden Bishop, Donovan Walton, David Freitas, Mike Leake, Parker Markel, Matt Carasiti, Jesse Biddle, Connor Sadzeck and Reggie McClain. They went 68-94.

The Mariners spent that season figuring out the core of guys they wanted to roll with as they headed back toward contention. They ended up going 28-32 in the COVID 2020 season the following year and then missed the playoffs on the last day of the season in 2021 before making the playoffs in 2022.
